Google "servlet filter" -- it's available in servlet spec 2.3 and later. Essentially, you can set up a series of these filters to wrap a call to your webapp, based on URI path or file extension. Each filter is called in turn (both for request and response). You can use them to check for things in the request/session/etc and short-circuit the process if something goes awry. :In the below is the simplified example request and what we would like to log is command and user from the request + IP address of the client => bind the request to requestor's IP Address. I missed your original post, but if you're trying to get to the client IP from within the deployed web service -and- using Axis, it's possible. I just dug this out recently myself. Start with MessageContext#getCurrentContext() find the session, cast it to an AxisSession, and get the wrapped HttpSession object out of that. It's a little buried. =) -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
